quick post....

Should be writing soap notes, but here is a pic of the dog....living the good life!!! He hates for John to go anywhere without him, so he goes many places!

Busy, busy, busy

Clinical, work, school....need I say more? Posting is slim!!!

more baby aloes!!!

Big momma got bigger, now there is big sis and little sis...and all the little babies.

And a small sample of peonies from my no-so weeded garden. The weeds are as tall as the peonies and that is why there is a picture of the cut ones!

tomato update

The tomatoes are planted outside!!! Two in the ground and one in a bucket upside down. Thanks to help from John, with digging, drilling and hauling! We will see how they do.

Also, some knitting. Continuing on with the tomato theme...here are my footies out of "the attack of the killer tomato yarn" I got last summer. It is spunky eclectic yarn and wears great!!! I wore them at work last night!

quickie....

Here are the only 2 blooms from my lilac bush...

This is my first attempt with rhubarb. Thanks, Rachel, for the rhubarb and the recipe!

The babies are back...

Big momma! Starting to look like those giant ones Cindy and I saw in MD.

The lucky bamboo...I need all the luck I can get!

The 2 remaining lilac blooms after the lilac bush got blasted with heat from the bonfire...somebody's in trouble!

The siberian tomato plants....will they do well in Maine????

Yes, I can feed the horse...



Joseph and Alyson walking the horse.

Penelope and Indy, finally being still.

on call

I was on call this past weekend with Penny and Liz. What fun! Besides a birth and a lesson in suturing, we got to visit the farm.

the view....beautiful

the curly locks....

the geese after Penny...

changes to the house.

New molding around top of entry into living room



New open area where there once was a closet...



Desktop in the new open area and recessed lighting

desk and bookshelf.

All improvements are the product of John's efforts and abilities!

my crazy pets...

Aren't they cute?

my crazy husband...

dancing with the dog. Celebrating the BEAUTIFUL work he did in our living area while I was away.

the snow has followed me to GA...

I know it is not the same amounts that Maine is receiving, but...spring was just in the air a few days ago and the temperature was above 60 degrees. Oh well, the birds don't seem to mind the snow.

clinical bound. january 2009

I left my mark on the dorm wall. I stayed in a room that was also occupied by friends who also became midwives...Jodie, Carly, and Elizabeth. and the room was room 207 (area code for Maine). Sounds like some karma to me!

Ringing the bell (yes, I sing the song in my mind...)

My hall mates/classmates/car mates...from Louisville and back, in order of appearance. Diana, Rachel, Leslie and me.

The sewing of the beef tongue. MMMM.
